move paramater definitions to a device paramater structure only
leaving the device name, which antennas are used and what firmware
file to use in the iwl_cfg structure. this will not completely
remove the redundancies but greatly reduce them for devices that
only vary by name or antennas. the parameters that are more
likely to change within a given device family are left in iwl_cfg.
also separate bt param structure added to help reduce more.

The iwl_adjust_beacon_interval function is a bit
of black magic, so add comments to it describing
what it does. Also, in the case when there's no
beacon interval set, program the default into
the device (instead of adjusting, which results
in the max) since using the max in that case
interacts badly with dual-mode/PAN parameters.
Also update the PAN parameters accordingly and
use the same constant as here.

When the PAN context is unused, there's no

Currently the driver will try to protect all frames,
which leads to a lot of odd things like sending an
RTS with a zeroed RA before multicast frames, which
is clearly bogus.
In order to fix all of this, we need to take a step
back and see what we need to achieve:
* we need RTS/CTS protection if requested by
the AP for the BSS, mac80211 tells us this
* in that case, CTS-to-self should only be
enabled when mac80211 tells us
* additionally, as a hardware workaround, on
some devices we have to protect aggregated
frames with RTS
To achieve the first two items, set up the RXON
accordingly and set the protection required flag
in the transmit command when mac80211 requests
protection for the frame.
To achieve the last item, set the rate-control
RTS-requested flag for all stations that we have
aggregation sessions with, and set the protection
required flag when sending aggregated frames (on
those devices where this is required).
Since otherwise bugs can occur, do not allow the
user to override the RTS-for-aggregation setting
from sysfs any more.
Finally, also clean up the way all these flags get
set in the driver and move everything into the
device-specific functions.

When building tx command, always set TX_CMD_FLAG_PROT_REQUIRE_MSK
for 5000 series and up.
Without setting this bit the firmware will not examine the RTS/CTS setting
and thus not send traffic with the appropriate protection. RTS/CTS is is
required for HT traffic in a noisy environment where, without this setting,
connections will stall on some hardware as documented in the patch that
initially attempted to address this:

iwlwifi: Fix throughput stall issue in HT mode for 5000
Similar to 6000 and 1000 series, RTS/CTS is the recommended
protection mechanism for 5000 series in HT mode based on the HW design.
Using RTS/CTS will better protect the inner exchange from interference,
especially in highly-congested environment, it also prevent uCode encounter
TX FIFO underrun and other HT mode related performance issues.
For 3945 and 4965, different flags are used for RTS/CTS or CTS-to-Self
protection.
